About Typora
What is Typora?
Typora is a minimal Markdown editor that removes the preview window, mode switcher, and syntax symbols, giving you a seamless live preview as you type. It solves the problem of juggling separate editing and preview panes, letting you concentrate on content itself.
Who is it for?
Typora is built for writers, developers, note-takers, and anyone who creates Markdown documents — from blog posts to technical documentation. It is not ideal for teams needing real-time collaboration or heavy document layout control.
Real use cases
Create and share formatted documents using images, headers, lists, tables, code fences with syntax highlighting (100+ languages), math equations (MathJax with mhchem), diagrams (flowchart.js, Mermaid), emoji, tables of contents, and internal links. Drag-and-drop image upload, resize, and cloud upload (macOS + iPic) simplify media handling.
Key features
- Live Preview — See your formatted document as you type, with real-time rendering of Markdown.
- Distraction-Free Writing — No mode switchers, no preview pane; focus purely on content.
- Code Syntax Highlighting — Supports around 100 languages for code fences.
- Math & Diagrams — Built-in MathJax (including mhchem) for equations, plus flowchart.js and Mermaid for diagrams.
- Image Handling — Drag-and-drop insert, resize, relative path support, and cloud upload (macOS + iPic).
- Tables & Lists — Easy resize and reorder tables, GFM task lists, indent/outdent for nested lists.
- Custom Styles — Apply your own CSS to change fonts, alignment, and add advanced features like auto-numbering headings.
